Chris Familton, Journalist

Chris Familton

I'm a music journalist, publicist and musician. I’ve been writing professionally about music for the last 15 years, with my music blogs Doubtful Sounds and Post To Wire (alt-country/folk) and as a freelancer with The Music (Drum Media) since 2009, Rhythms magazine, FasterLouder and more.

I've been playing bass guitar in bands since the early ‘90s in New Zealand (Thorazine Shuffle) and Australia (The Finalists, Charlie Horse). I currently also work as a music publicist, with artists including Bluebottle Kiss, Halfway, Restless Leg, Alannah Russack.

"The humour, sonic irascibility and provocateur attitude of Al Jourgensen is defiantly present and in fine form."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Hayes Carll - Lovers And Leavers
"It's a languid and casual affair where the songs drift by, conjuring up late, humid nights on the back porch with a bottle for company."
